Initially, it was planned that the “Seven” would be shown at the Beijing Motor Show, but in the end the presentation took place in the city of Wuhu. Contrary to assumptions, the Omoda C7 is not a redesigned Chery Tiggo 7 Pro: crossovers have different wheelbases, and even the design similarity is distant. Journalists were shown a five-seat hybrid version; There will also be more traditional petrol versions.
Omoda S5. Sedans will still compete
The length/width/height of the Omoda C7 are 4621/1872/1673 millimeters, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2700 millimeters. Unusual options include laser headlights, as well as a 15.6-inch touchscreen that can be moved longitudinally from the center tunnel to the front passenger. The steering wheel is designed based on the patterns… of a game joystick! A projection screen is required. There are few analog keys, but those that exist can be pressed even with gloves.

Little is known about the technique. The hybrid version will be able to travel up to 95 kilometers without activating the internal combustion engine, and the total range will be 1,200 kilometers – enough to get from Frankfurt to Rome. An opaque hint of an imminent entry into the Italian market. Under the hood of the petrol-electric Omoda C7 is a 1.5 engine with a capacity of 156 horsepower, which works in conjunction with a 1DHT130 robotic gearbox with a built-in electric motor.
Chery will bring the hybrid Tiggo 9 to Russia
The presentation of the Russian Omoda C7 will probably take place before the end of the year. In our country and neighboring Kazakhstan, sales may begin in the fourth quarter, or may be delayed until the first quarter of 2025. According to unofficial data, the “Seven” is being adapted to the realities of the CIS: a more conservative technology without an electric motor is possible.
